City Planner
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022 -14, Request for Consent to Annex Right -of -Way Along East 116th
Street
DATE: September 16, 2022
BACKGROUND:
In July of 2022, construction commenced on roadway improvements involving right -of -way
(ROW) located along East 116th Street North, between Garnett Road and North 129th East
Avenue. Many of the ROW parcels involved In this project are not annexed into the City of
Owasso's Corporate Limits. Further, Tulsa County still retains ownership of seven (7) of the twenty -
four (24) total parcels that need to be annexed.
The City of Owasso initiated the annexation process for the seventeen (t 7) City -owned parcels in
August of 2022. Tulsa County representatives indicated that they are willing to consent to the
annexation of the County -owned parcels. As such, both the City and the County would need to
adopt Resolutions, officially stating the City of Owasso's intent to annex and eventually take
ownership of the County -owned ROW parcels.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION:
City Staff is bringing forward a Resolution for City Council consideration, formally requesting
permission to annex the Tulsa County -owned ROW parcels. A similar Resolution, stating that Tulsa
County will agree with the annexation request, is to be presented to the Tulsa County Board of
County Commissioners at their regular meeting on September 26, 2022.
If both Resolutions are passed, staff anticipates bringing an annexation request for the Tulsa
County -owned parcels before City Council in November of 2022.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2022 -14, requesting consent from the Tulsa County
Board of County Commissioners to annex portions of East 116th Street North.
